Star Wars: The Last Jedi (also known as Star Wars: Episode VIII  The Last Jedi) is an upcoming American epic space opera film written and directed by Rian Johnson. It will be the second installment in the Star Wars sequel trilogy following Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015). The film is produced by Lucasfilm Ltd. and Bad Robot Productions and will be distributed worldwide by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, and stars Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong'o, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie, and Andy Serkis in returning roles. New cast members include Benicio del Toro, Laura Dern, and Kelly Marie Tran in unconfirmed roles. It was Fisher's final film role before her death in December 2016. Johnson has stated that the story resumes immediately after the events of The Force Awakens.

Having taken her first steps into the Jedi world, Rey joins Luke Skywalker on an adventure with Leia, Finn and Poe that unlocks the mysteries of the Force and the secrets of her past.

Get the feeling that potential fleet battle is going to be very lackluster.

In fairness, while the Nebulon is a cool-looking and different design... it also makes very little sense.

Because the biggest complaint about TFA is it is a beat-for-beat remake of ANH. So, of course they're going to say that. Of course, if it's not a remake because, "No, now the AT-ATs are on a HOT DESERT PLANET instead of a COLD ARCTIC PLANET so it's TOTALLY DIFFERENT!" then... we're gonna have a problem.

Not like Disney could do any better in cleaning up the shit-fest George already left behind when he sold Star Wars! George Lucas is now known as nothing more than a hypocritical, two-faced, lying, inconsiderate, blame-shifting, greedy SON OF A BITCH! He should have done a better job in leaving behind a legacy, but instead left behind a f***ing joke...

oh and He Made Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the crystal skulls... I've heard that there are so many things wrong with this movie that I think someone here could write an entire thread on it.

And Disney is no goddamn saint either! They've already been in more controversies than I even care to count for reasons I don't even care about. EA is now making Star Wars Games, which is already a bad sign for god's sake! Marvel will now make comics for the universe as well. Do any of you see a pattern here in this mess? At this point, I DON'T GIVE A SHIT! At this point, I've lost all hope for this menagerie we call a franchise.

You mean the lightsaber that fell down the reactor shaft of the second Death Star?

What about the one that fell into the core* of a gas giant that Rey's been swinging around?

*NB: that lightsaber would have been pulvarized by the heat, radiation, and pressure long before it reached the core...

The Aftermath books did put forward the idea that Vader's saber survived. Or that it was at least plausible to some people.

@ Zaarin: Here's the thing though. Did that chamber empty out into the planet itself? Because after falling a bit, Luke got pulled into a shaft and then fell out at the bottom of the disk.

I suppose that's not entirely clear.

I mean, here's the thing... Star Wars isn't science fiction. Much as you guys point out the issues with calculating the energy output of the superlaser (and the conclusion that the Death Star somehow needs to store its fuel in a form denser than a stellar core [which, in turn, is seven times denser than the most dense metal at room temperature and pressure] to carry fuel for a single shot...) or why thermal exhaust ports should not work that way...

Disney is very clearly going full-throttle on the adventure and "don't think too hard" side.

... Fair enough. While I don't have much of an update for the thread, I heard that Carrie Fisher's character is going to have an epic send-off for the film and I am not sure how, but it sounds interesting. I also have this behind the scenes video clip I found here that I wanna show: Warning though... Spoilers.

My opinion is that it sounds promising. Everyone else here is probably gonna chastise the hell out of it, if I know better, probably me as well. I have been searching quite a bit and for some reason, unlike others, searching for news or info to share of this episode is hard as hell. Some of the info I got was only from leaks and theforce.net but sadly that really is it. Can't see much else, unless I am "googling" it wrong.

I still wonder what they'll do with Episode IX without Carrie Fisher, especially since, as I understand it, IX was supposed to be "her" film (after VII was Harrison Ford's and VIII's is supposed to be Mark Hamill's). Will they go the route of just saying she died offscreen, or somehow write her out of it, or...?

Well at least we won't have to watch Disney further bury another of our beloved characters by having her be Ben the Bitch fodder.

Still miss her though...

ITT: And now introducing the newest race in the galaxy called the Porg by Disney Studios...

I thought I would share this as an update and I gotta say, at first, I admit it, I thought it was a freaking guinea pig! It's a... I don't know what it is.

Quoted from Flying Ace:

Pardon me, but you're gonna have to explain what you mean by that. The Star Wars Franchise or what you're expressing?
